Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Hi Liz, it should keep for about 1 week - enjoy!! It can also be frozen in little containers if you don't think you will use it all 🙂
Zoe Robson says
A great pizza sauce. So tasty. I use it for topping grilled chicken and meatball subs too!

Hi, thanks for the recipe, its really tasty-have just doubled it and added a stock cube and pasta as it was simmering down to trial as a pasta bake-in the ovdn with 30% less cheese on top as i type 🙂 . I grate carrot as a sweetener-natural and healthy alternative. Thanks again!
